There isn't a more accepting place to be *** in the US, so not really.

It's rare to see an NFL player get outed active or retired. I'm sure there are *** players in the NFL but its frankly just not accepted so I can see why a guy wouldn't want to come out. Its honestly better for a guy like Teo to be labeled as a liar/sociopath than to be outright ***.

Minneapolis?

"I don't do the *** guys man," said Culliver, whose Niners play the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. "I don't do that. No, we don't got no *** people on the team, they gotta get up out of here if they do.
"Can't be with that sweet stuff. Nah…can't be…in the locker room man. Nah."

When quizzed by Lange whether any homosexual athletes would need to keep their sexuality a secret in football, Culliver responded: "Yeah, come out 10 years later after that."

Was he out before this, or are we just finding out due to the lawsuit being filed?

Also, the hell is it with black men getting gray hair so young? First Roman Harper, and now Kwame Harris... This is the real story.

Happens to white guys too. Taylor Hicks was like 29 when he was on American Idol but still looked like George Clooney's older brother. Steve Martin and Ric Flair started going gray (or silver I suppose) in their early 30s.

Brilliant letting one of Scott Pioli's henchmen have his own team to ruin. One of the premier GM jobs in the NFL and it gets handed to a stupid **** who makes three facepalm moves for every good one. Awesome. Just like handing a new Mercedes to a 16 year old girl who's already been in three wrecks.

He will now be publicly lambasted for being dumb enough to say what many NFL players think.

Then they should be publicly lambasted too. How is Culliver's stance in any way excusable? Especially when you consider that the Niners probably have one of the largest homosexual fanbases in the league. How hard is it to keep your idiotic opinions to yourself?

Is it okay for Brendan Ayamandajo (spelling) to voice his opinion on the other side of the isse?

It should be both, or neither. What's your opinion.

Because people can be wrong.

Ayanbadejo's comments are about supporting people who are afraid.

Culliver's comments are about suppressing and alienating people.

Culliver is an ignorant asshole. There is no gray area here. "Personal beliefs" are used as a cop-out too often for stupid behavior. What argument is there? "Hide yourself and don't serve as role models to others who would rather kill themselves than be out of the closet to their family and friends." That's a terrible message. So, not both or neither, but Ayanbadejo only.

Besides, what other side of the issue is there? Separate showers? Sure. A bodyguard to make sure that there's no inappropriate tackling? Wouldn't want to trample on the rights of a 6' 200+ millionaire man by allowing them to be seen with *** people. /sarcasm They can grow up and treat their teammates with respect regardless of what orientation they are.

Really???

Ayanbadejo is speaking out against discrimination, Culliver is being homophobic and derogatory. If I say what he said in my workplace then I get fired. Just because they are athletes doesn't put them on a higher pedastol than anyone. Its not neither or both, its equality for all people. If the NFL really wants to keep its image clean then Culliver will see a pretty hefty fine and the 49ers should do way more than simply say they disagree.
